FORMIDABLE IRON CLADS.
Classification of War Ships in the British
Navy-A Noticeable Fact.

Classification of War Ships in the British
Nayy-A Noticeable Fact.
In addition to a formidable list Of gun
boats, unarmored cruisers torpedo cruisers,
and torpedo boats, the English admiralty
has in hand two classes of iron clads that
may fairly rank as first rate The first of
these-which might be called the cad
miral'' class, each ship being named after
some famous British admiral-consists of
what are termed CHARLOTTE ships from
the fashion in which their guns are mounted
These are: The Arson, Benbow, Camper
down, Couingwood, Howe and Rodney.
The Imperieuse and Warspite are also ships
of the same type, but somewhat smaller
than the 'Admiral' class, though in pro-
portionate horse power they are even more
formidable The six admiral" ships have
tonnage ranging from $3.50 in the Col
lingwood TO 10000 in the Arson, Benbow,
and Camperdown; and horse power rang
lg from 1900 in the three last named YES
sells to ,160 in the Rodney. Each of
these ships will be mounted with either ten
or twelve guns and in every case at least
two of these guns will be of the 110-ton pat
tern. The Benbow recently made her trial
trip, and steamed 70 knots in four hours
an average of TX knots an hour, speed
exceeded by very few war ships atloat, even
counting cruisers specially built for speed
And swift as the Benbow has shown herself
to be, the Collingwood Howe, Rodney,
Warspite, and Imperieuse will be far
swifter.
The second class of first rate iron clads
consists of turret ships. Hitherto English
turret ships have been rather slow. The In
flexible can scarcely make fourteen knots an
hour, and the Devastation is still slower.
But by vastly increasing the proportion of
horse power as compared with tonnage the
admiralty has got over this difficulty. While
the Devastation, with tonnage of $3.50,
has only $3.50 horse power, the Renown
and Sans Pareil, now being constructed,
have a horse power of not less than IL, 900,
against tonnage of 10,400. These two
ships are to be mounted with fifteen guns
each, those in the turrets being, of course,
of the largest type. There is also another
turret ship, smaller than these, but surely
formidable vessel, the Edinburgh, 8, 100
tons, 1890 horse power, nine guns.
| Nothing is so noticeable in recent Eng
glish war ships as the great proportionate
increase of horse power to tonnage, show
ing the Importance attached to speed. For
the broadside ships Agincourt and Minotaur
the proportion of horse power to tonnage
was as six to ten; for the Renown and Sans
Pareil the proportion is, roughly as twelve
to ten. But this increase of horse power
over tonnage is most conspicuous of all in
the torpedo ram Polyphemus, which, with
tonnage of 2, 040, has horse power of $500
These, them are what they call, first rate
iron clads in Europe. Ships like these cos
immense sums of money; but there are no
few men in England who would gladly
pay five shillings in the pound income tax i
by SO doing they could secure to their flee
unquestionable supremacy. Orlean

ONE Concressman,s Small outlay.

There is representative in congress from
one Of the southern states who manages TO
live comfortably in Washington at an outlay
of not more than $h500 per annum. He has
no family, neither drinks nor uses tobacco in
any form, yet he apparently enjoys life in
his own way and is general favorite with
his congressional associates. He has neat
but not extravagant apartments in an emil
nently respectable section of the tity and
dresses in good taste. Many Of his compan-
ions are very anxious to learn his methods Of
saving so much Of his salary, but he refrains
from giving any advice on the subject, but
tells them good naturally that it is the result
Of lis self control. He is not in any sense q
miser, but he is about the best specimen Of a
model moral congressman in existence to-
Washington Cor. Baltimore Sun.

POISON IN THE ASHES.
What the Mt. Lebanon Shakers
Found---Incident in the HIS
tory of Quiet Community.

kers are a quiet community, secluded for
the fret and worry of the outside world,
They are widely known, however, from
their strict honor and probity in business.
The Shakers believe that nature has a
remedy for every disease. A few have
been found-the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by accident. 9th
ers came to light as the result of patient
experiment and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is comparatively
new disease, growing out of the conditions
of modern life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the nervous
system. These two were formerly treated
as separate ailments, and it was left for
the clear-sighted Shakers to prove that
the basis of this terrible and often fatal
complication lies chiefly in the disordered
depraved functions of digestion and nu-
triton. They reasoned thus;-"If we can
induce the stomach to do its work, and
stimulate the excretive organs to drive
out of the body the poisonous waste mat
tors which remain after the lifegiving ell
ements of the food have been absorbed,
we shall have conquered Nervous Dyspep-
STA and NERVOUS Exhaustion.
And they were right. Knowing the
infallible power of Shaker Extract (Sei-
gels Syrup in less complicated though
similar diseases, they resolved to test il
fully in this. To leave no ground fol
doubt they pl escribed the remedy in hun
dreds of cases which had been pronounced
incurable-with perfect success in every
instance where their directions as to liv-
ing and diet were scrupulously followed
Nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion is c
peculiarly American disease. To greater
or less extent half the people of this coun
try suffer- from it-both sexes and al
ages. In no country in the world are
there so many insane asylums filled to over
flowing, all resulting from this alarming
disease. Its leading symptoms are these
